TalkBack / Re: The SNES 20

« on: August 10, 2011, 10:19:30 PM »

After all this time, I'm surprised how good the SNES Turtles looks.  I remember A/Bing the arcade and SNES versions relentlessly from magazine articles back then.  The XBox Live remake doesn't score very well, but it's decent.  It does point up the fact that the SNES version makes more sense--instead of just randomly being sent back in time in a sewer, you get sent back in the Technodrome.

Anyway, these beat-em-ups don't hold up as well as I wish they did, but TMNT4 was always tops.  The Hyperstone Heist on the Genesis was pretty cool, too.  Some recycled levels, some new.  Some enterprising company should put out a TMNT Arcade pack and include a newly redrawn (to match the arcade level) TMNT3.  That was a cool game.

I've downloaded Pokédex 3D, ExciteBike 3D, and Netflix, so I should be good if there is an issue. Unfortunately, I have a bad feeling there will be, which is based on experience with Club Nintendo and how sometimes certain automatic registrations just don't work for whatever reason. Hopefully this will be handled better than Club Nintendo though.

As eager as Nin is to keep early adopters happy, I think they'll get this as right as possible.  You've got rock-solid proof, including a survey you may or may not have taken for Excitebike at Club Nintendo.

As for me, I downloaded Excitebike and Nintendo Videos, and I bought Link's Awakening, Donkey Kong, Xevious and Picross, along with downloading all of the E3 videos.  I'm more tongue-in-cheek worried than anything else, though I wish they would attach an Ambassador title to me like they've attached a Platinum.

I've had the same nagging doubts, but I've been on since the day the eShop opened and have purchased several things.  I should be good, or I'm going to take a flamethrower to that place!

I like Urban Champion and I cannot lie.  I'll be the only one, I guess.  Liked it back in the day, too.  Though, the Nintendo game I would love to see in 3D is Popeye.  Rights nightmare?  It was apparently on mobiles, but either it's been pulled or it didn't make it to the iPhone.

Is there such a thing as a good mobile browser? Seriously, I don't know the mobile browser space very well.

I use something called Atomic Web Browser on my iPhone, and it's pretty cool.
